LEARN MORE ABOUT EYELID SURGERY

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty or "lifting of the eyes," can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, usually to reduce flaccidity in the lower eyelid and/or remove excess tissue in the upper eyelid.

WHY CONSIDER AN EYELID SURGERY?

As we age, our skin begins to lose its volume and definition.

A loss of skin elasticity combined with a decrease in tissue volume often results in flaccid skin on both the upper and lower eyelids, causing wrinkles and lumps. In the upper eyelid, this can cause the extra skin to hang over the eye itself, even obscuring the patient's vision. In the lower eyelid, extra skin weight and decreased tissue can cause the eyelid to fall so that the white of the eye can be seen under the iris.

HOW DOES AN EYELID SURGERY WORK?

If you choose to have an eyelid surgery, the procedure will be performed while you are under general anesthesia or given an intravenous sedative.

For conditions of the upper eyelid, the incision can be made along the crease of the eyelid, so that any scar is almost invisible. Through this incision, fat deposits can be removed or repositioned, muscles tightened and excess skin can be removed.

For the lower eyelid, the surgeon can make one of two different incisions to better address your aesthetic concerns.

RECOVERY

In general, patients undergoing an eyelid surgery should plan between seven and ten days off work or other activities. As there will be bruising and swelling, it can help speed recovery by applying ice and sleeping with the head elevated.

TIME

The surgery itself requires one to three hours, depending on the degree of correction needed.

INCISIONS

The incisions are placed inside the natural crease of the eyelid. For patients who do not have folds in the eyelids, a double fold is created as part of the surgical procedure.
